Like their American counterparts, libertarians in South Korea allied themselves with the conservative political factions and now are paying a price in the face of a political meltdown. As Murray Rothbard noted, it is better to go with principles of liberty than caving in to statists.

February 22, 2025
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 has shaken Vancouver, Victoria and other cites on B.C.’s southwest coast. Natural Resources Canada says the quake was centred 24 kilometres north-northeast of Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast. It says the quake occurred at 1:26 p.m. local time and there were no immediate reports of damage. British Columbia’s emergency information website says officials are monitoring the situation and the public should stand by for more information. Posts on social media suggest the quake was felt across much of the Lower Mainland, as well as Vancouver Island. On Thursday, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake was detected roughly 63 kilometres northeast of Grande Cache, Alta., but it isn’t believed to have caused any damage. […]
What Trump’s Looking Into Selling in S.F. Couldn’t Be More Hilariously Symbolic – Twitchy
February 22, 2025
We are now just over one month into the Trump presidency, and based on all the Democrat hyperventilating it couldn’t be more obvious that there’s a new sheriff in town. The shift in political winds that took place in November on Election Day becomes clearer each day, and there’s a story which symbolizes that shift better than most. This is pure gold: Trump sellingthe Nancy Pelosi Federal Buildingin San Francisco.🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 pic.twitter.com/0J163Bb8UZ — Joe Dan Gorman (@JoeDanMedia) February 22, 2025 This year just keeps on getting better! Bonus points if this building gets turned into a Trump hotel: Two prominent San Francisco buildings may be on President Trump’s chopping block. The White House is looking to sell the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building on 7th Street and the century-old building at 50 United Nations Plaza. The Trump administration says it will save money by avoiding maintenance on the buildings, selling the properties, then leasing office space for federal workers. Former Congresswoman Jackie Speier says it’s just about vengeance. To quote Barack Obama, “elections have consequences.” Pelosi walking to her building after Trump… Read the full article here […]
Make Jordan Palestinian Again – American Thinker
February 22, 2025
President Trump’s proposal for resettling Gazans in other countries brought to the forefront a long-forgotten truth: Jordan is Palestinian. Yes, Jordan is Palestinian, defined by its geography, demographics, history, culture, and identity. It reflects the shared heritage of its people as Arabs on both sides of the Jordan river were called “Palestinians Arabs” until 1948. The idea of a Palestinian Jordan is not just a political maneuver; it is a historical reality that cannot be ignored. Yet, in a speech earlier this week, King Abdullah emphatically stated that he would “never allow either Tahjeer [the entry of Palestinians into Jordan], Tawteen [accepting Palestinians in Jordan as natives] or Al-Watan Al-Badeel [Jordan becoming Palestine].” The king is afraid that Jordan’s vast Palestinian majority would take over the throne from under him. Hence, he has been isolating them and denying them their most basic civil rights in the name of “protecting the Jordanian identity.” The problem for the king is that each time he brings this up, he actually reminds Jordanians and Palestinians that while he claims to be “protecting Jordan’s identity,”… Read the full article here […]
The problems with ProPublica’s attempt to blame Texas pro-life laws for increased sepsis
February 22, 2025
ProPublica’s most recent attempt to blame pro-life laws for pregnancy complications points to an alleged increase in the sepsis rate among Texas women who experienced pregnancy loss in the second trimester, following the enactment of the state’s Heartbeat Act in 2021. To build the report, four article authors at ProPublica claim they purchased and analyzed seven years of discharge data from Texas hospitals, but failed to share their sources or raw data with readers. The report leaves numerous unanswered questions about what may have actually caused a spike in sepsis rates connected to pregnancy loss. In its report, ProPublica claimed that sepsis was more “pronounced” in women whose preborn babies still had heartbeats when they arrived at the hospital. Though several doctors told ProPublica that the “only explanation” could be the state’s pro-life law, this is unlikely. At a Glance: ProPublica was not transparent with the data, failing to link to it or share the methodology it used so that the data could be properly analyzed. The report ignored additional factors that could cause an increase… […]

Allies Bluff, They Cannot Make It Without the US in Ukraine | The Gateway Pundit
February 22, 2025
Zelensky with U.S. dollars, image courtesy of Eurasia Review. Because Trump is rightly tired of the U.S. paying for Ukraine’s defense, the world is turning on him. Ukrainian officials are criticizing America, Europe is calling Trump “Hitler,” and Ukrainian soldiers on Twitter are removing American flags from their uniforms—all because the American gravy train is about to dry up. With Trump demanding a better deal for the American people, the world will have to fend for itself. Europe is experiencing adolescent angst now, as it is forced to man-up, come of age, and move out from under the U.S. protective umbrella. Fact: The U.S. WILL NO LONGER BE PAYING FOR IT!It’s time for Europe to step up and defend itself. While it’s unfortunate that many Europeans may die unnecessarily, part of me anticipates the vindication of watching weak, woke European militaries—crippled by declining birthrates and a post-Christian, soy-boy-vegan culture—be decimated by Russian conscripts. The consensus among many on Twitter and in liberal media that the U.S. has burned its bridges with Europe and that Europe will now move on without the U.S. as a trade and defense partner is… Read the full article here […]

The Trump administration has announced it will be replacing ICE Director Caleb Vitello. The Department of Homeland Security has announced Vitello will be reassigned within the agency.
